Confirmed Trade: [NYR/VAN] Carson Soucy for 2025 3rd round pick

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Well...between Will Borgen and Carson Soucy, I'd say the Rangers have done well to replace Jacob Trouba's 'freight train' style of play.

Whether those two will be good against the best Eastern forwards coverage wise, will remain to be seen, but don't get in their way.
They'll hit the ^%$# out of you...

I can't recall a single Soucy hit in his tenure here. The crosscheck on McDavid?

 

[Freaky Styley]

last year everyone had career years. this year we found out Soucy cannot be played above a #5, he will be a good #5, if the plan was to move him to Lindgren's spot, hes going to crash and burn in a big way. Hes exceptional defending rush entry, but thats about it.

Soucy played well in Seattle prior and Minnesota prior to that. Had a great playoff with the Kraken.

I'm not saying he'll necessarily return to form but I think it's more likely he does than not. He had a knee injury and that always takes a long time to rehab. Even if it's not the rest of this year I'd expect better results next year from him. Time will tell.

I don't know what to tell you about your recollection then.
Maybe some of the Vancouver softness had rubbed off on him, because his tenures with the Kraken and Wild previously were marked with a hitting style.

He hit enough in VAN.....maybe not as much as he did before.
He likely resurrects that playing for a Rangers team that definitely encourages that.

 

[Canucks LB]

Nice deal, its sjs 3rd

 

[BJCOLLINS]

So are Rangers selling or buying?

My thoughts exactly? They started the season with a deep playoff run planned!

 

[Canucks LB]

Canucks get basically a late 2nd and save 3.25m in cap space on a guy who lost his job to Dpetey.

Nice work.

That being said, he was Great last year, i think hes gonna play well on NY

Ok.

So what about my point was wrong? He wasnt Zadorov or anything.

I loved Soucy. Was one of my favourite players. Doesn't mean he wasn't shit this year tho.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Turned UFA Smith into Soucy and Brisson, Nice work garlic knot boy

Wasn't trying to prove a 'wrong or right' here (yes, I know...how very UN hfboards of me)....but merely pointing out that I DID recall Soucy having a hitting style, and that he did do that some in Vancouver, perhaps not to the point where he was notorious for it.

And yea, he has not been good particularly good in VAN...never disputed that point. Frankly, he never seemed the type to fit into the Canucks' usually fast paced north-south style.

Wild, Kraken, and to an extent NY...teams that put more a premium on more structure and defensive layers? Yea, he fits in better with any of those clubs.

They are bi-transaction

who knows what it's called these days. A-transactual

So future Broadway bullies lol

 

[Eggtimers]

New Jersey should have done this trade instead of the one for Doumolin

Soucy has term . Devils don’t need a signed past this season. Devils pick is either Jets or Oilers I believe , which will be pretty damn close to a 3rd round pick anyways. .

 

[The Crypto Guy]

JT wants to bring over the hard working players. Nice

 

[WiLBoY]

I'll miss him.

He was amazing for us last year but struggled a bit this year. Still, I think he would be pretty good 5/6th defensemen that can slot into the top 4.

 

[Hockeyplayer99]

He is a big guy but is he soft

Feel bad for Jones. Looks like he is out of lineup again. You know, Miller and Borgen will be a pair vaak and Schneider will be a pair and dehaan and Soucy will be a pair.

 

[Svencouver]

Pretty amazing trade, getting a minor asset for a #7 boat anchor with no retention is great stuff

 

[Nanuuk]

Vancouver waiving the white flag here? Seems like Soucy was a mainstay of that group.

Fortunately for Jones I think he's the only one capable of manning the point on the PP

 

[ManofSteel55]

Fair value for Soucy if his game has bounced back like Canuck fans have been telling me. Soucy is serviceable. Nice deal for the Rangers. Fair value for Vancouver.

He strruggled for large parts of the year this year. Recency bias in reverse.

Didn’t everybody love this guy during the Canucks run last year?

VCR!!

VCR is such a Beta way of saying Vancouver.

I wish him well. He has been a real mixed bag this year. Brutal start but has somewhat rebounded recently. As others have said. D. Petey has leap far over him and Forbort has been far more consistent.

 

[Cogburn]

I feel like we could less then we should have for him, but he did have a NMC this year....so eh.

Good luck in New York, Soucy.

we was made redundant by a rookie, thats how mainstay he was. Him and Myers pairing was the actual worse pairing in the league at one point this season.

Soucy played well in Seattle prior and Minnesota prior to that. Had a great playoff with the Kraken.

I'm not saying he'll necessarily return to form but I think it's more likely he does than not. He had a knee injury and that always takes a long time to rehab. Even if it's not the rest of this year I'd expect better results next year from him. Time will tell.

he was playing as a #5 for those teams. thats where he should be slotted on a playoff team.

 

[Commander Clueless]

That trade is pretty Soucy, I gotta say
